> Oh look, another "middlebrow dismissal" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4693920 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4693920) upvoted to the top of a HN post. Color me surprised. Do you see the irony in using a low-effort, middlebrow dismissal to call another comment a middlebrow dismissal? Re-read the comment you cited in your criticism, I think you may have taken the wrong lesson from it. Unlike pg's comment, yours does not advance a substantive criticism or draw a novel insight into the conversation, which means it's also the same type of dismissal he was talking about.
